I know about Alpha, Beta, what if after Beta? Is it just the Greek alphabet?

You know, I'm so glad you posted that list! I've heard this over and over and over "Greek alphabet" but it just hadn't sunk into my thick skull until I looked at the actual list. Somehow, I was thinking alpha, bravo, charley, delta, echo, etc. radio phonetics! duhhh! (oh well, I am a ham :roll: )

HA!!! Is there even a plan for that? If we get through the Greek alphabet, that means we have gotten to Omega..."The End".

Don't feel bad... I thought I had heard Charley too, but before this season.
